Princess Julia name checks the rubbishmen in yesterdays evening standard

by Princess Julia

For the past 30 years, writer and DJ Princess Julia, 49, has been partying hard in Soho, including a 15-year stint living on Dean Street and Berwick Street.

A night owl, she jokes that she could literally roll out of bed at 11pm and walk across the street to work.

Given her distinctive association with W1, it's not surprising her face is on the cover of the newly published book Soho Lives, a veritable love letter to the West End's most interesting enclave and its inhabitants, both past and present.

Soho's princess recently DJ-ed at the birthday party of her friend, artist Sue Webster, at the new Mark Hix restaurant on Brewer Street, where guests included Kate Moss, Bella Freud and Nick Cave. But she also knows Soho's gritty, hidden venues.

Her favourite tips include club night The Trannie Shack at Madame Jojo's on Wednesday nights and
the new 'Circus' in Endel Street run by Dick, the former barman at the Atlantic Bar and The Colony Room.

"Soho has always had that seedy element, which I find really attractive," she says, "though you do have to look harder to find it these days. But there's still a scene around Old Compton Street, with all the gay bars."

As music editor of i-D magazine and co-editor of The P.I.X music zine (recently namechecked by the New York Times), Julia spends a lot of time in the record shops of Berwick Street, such as Sister Ray. "And on Tuesday nights at Madame Jojo's they have White Heat, where you can find a lot of new indie bands."

She prefers to mix vintage and modern clothes, so Beyond Retro is another favourite. And her friend runs the tattoo parlour on Frith Street just beyond Bar Italia.

A native Londoner, Julia's love affair with Soho started young.

"Since I was a child, I've always thought Soho was magical," she recalls. "I was born in Hackney and grew up in north-east London. My dad is Hungarian and in the Sixties we couldn't get any of his favourite foods. So once a month we'd go to Soho to shop in the wonderful Italian delicatessens such as Lina Stores on Brewer Street. You couldn't get fresh pasta anywhere else."

She lived in Bloomsbury and off Regent Street in her twenties but became a fully-fledged Soho inhabitant at the age of 30.

"The Colony Room was my local: they actually made me an honorary member. I'd go and meet Pam Hogg and then we'd go clubbing afterwards."

But then Princess Julia has history. One of the first-ever female DJs, she came to notice as a Blitz kid in the early Eighties, along with Marc Almond and Boy George. She was a resident DJ at the legendary Kinky Gerlinky nightclub and appeared in Visage's 1981 Fade to Grey video.

When the director Baillie Walsh was shooting Boy George's controversial 1990 pop video Generations of Love in Soho, he persuaded her to play a key role. Along with fellow "club celebrities" such as David Holah, Les Child and Sue Tilly (who went on to model for Lucian Freud), she was cast as a young prostitute in the streets of downtown London.

"We shot it in Raymond's Revue Bar and around the pubs and clip joints of Old Compton Street," she recalls. "We couldn't get permission to shoot in Old Compton Street so we hid in my friend's hairdresser's until the coast was clear, then ran out and filmed until they told us to stop. Leigh Bowery was the stylist. I was in a leotard. I wasn't allowed make-up - just Vaseline on my face. Look it up on YouTube - it really captures what Soho was like."

She's seen a lot of changes over the years. The Colony has gone. They've bulldozed the Astoria, along with clubs such as The Ghetto - where she used to DJ - to make way for the new Tottenham Court Road station. "Soho is mostly bars and theatreland these days," she says, but she approves of the new posh members' club at the top of Centrepoint.

And she loves the way you can turn a corner and bump into a leading advertising creative, then around the next come The Rubbishmen - Soho's Victorian punk revivalists. "They're quite natty dressers with big beards and tweed suits, and they have this shambolic band.

"I travel around the world a lot. Williamsburg in New York, Plastic in Milan," she continues. "A lot of Brits are moving to Berlin but there's nowhere like London, that's why I stay here. And Soho is the true original. It has this fabulous balance of art, music and fashion - everything melds and flows together.

"Plus we have the best café life. You can literally hang out on the streets, or sit and people-watch. You bump into everyone in your life if you stay here long enough."

Hello one and all

painting

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Spanish pronunciation: [erˈnesto "tʃe" geˈβaɾa]; June 14,[1] 1928 – October 9, 1967) commonly known as Che Guevara, El Che, or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual, guerrilla leader, military theorist, and major figure of the Cuban Revolution. Since his death, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol and global insignia within popular culture.[4]

The Panic Exhibition is open until Saturday 21st November, 11am - 7pm, so be quick! The Old Abattoir, 187 - 211 St John Street, Clerkenwell, London EC





Today went to an exhibition in clerkenwell
The Panic Exhibition
it is in an amazing space
see details below
also saw the shoes
in the window of empty shop
kiss kiss

robert xx
Guerilla Zoo are no strangers to orchestrating bizarre events, so it comes as no surprise that their latest endeavour, The Panic Exhibition, is set in The Old Abattoir in Clerkenwell. In this vast derelict space, that was previously a prison before its incarnation as an abattoir, 40 artists are exhibiting works across a broad range of media.
The term 'panic' is used here in reference to the original Panic Movement (Mouvement Panique), a collective of artists (Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor) that formed in Paris in 1962. Their works focused on shocking performance art and imagery as a response to 'surrealism becoming petite bourgeoisie and to release destructive energies in search of peace and beauty.'
The name comes from the Greek God Pan - best known for his association with sexuality and prowess. During the 11 years that the Panic Movement was in action there were a number of outrageous performances, many highly charged with sexuality, brutality, and utterly unrepeatable, before they dissolved in 1973 with the release of Fernando Arrabal's 'Panic Manifesto'.
To say that this is a 'normal' exhibition by any means would be an understatement. Whilst the setting alone sets it apart from your standard gallery experience, it's the somewhat macabre, unusual mixture of contemporary art that is entirely powerful, if not at times slightly baffling. The exhibition opening night started with a 3 hour 'panic' where a collection of exhibiting artists created the work that will stand for the entirety of the exhibition. The dynamic and spontaneous style of the exhibition means that you could walk in on a music video, a photo shoot or a live installation...
The mediums explored here range far and wide and equally complimented with a variety of size. Heading down the stairs of the expansive building leads you to Rookinella's den of felt utopia. On first glance you may think that you're gazing at war memorabilia - yet these creations of AK-47s, grenades and torpedo missiles are indeed craftily created from felt.


Felt creations by Rookinella
In the main rooms there are works from various artists spanning from paintings and photography to giant, sometimes grotesque sculptures.


Clothing and fashion designs such as couture corsetry by Freyagushi come in the form of disturbing yet cutesy mannequins decked out in pig paraphenalia. In the far corner of the downstairs room, if you dare, are a long series of tunnels that envelop you in darkness with random coves dimly lit by candles displaying photographic works. Across the room there are a selection of live painting sessions happening - an artist painting works from start to finish, whilst artist and performance collective Twisted Cirque are indulging in a gory live painting session that mixes painting both canvas and human alike.


Performance & painting by Twisted Cirque
The highlight of the opening night is a performance piece from Lee Adams who, dressed as a giant rabbit begins to smear his face in blood before stabbing himself violently in the stomach and pouring his feathered entrails all over his face. It's all very strange but captivating all the same. With the work of 40 artists spread over two floors, the only reason to panic will be if you miss it.







The Panic Exhibition is open until Saturday 21st November, 11am - 7pm, so be quick! The Old Abattoir, 187 - 211 St John Street, Clerkenwell, London EC1V 4LS. Entry by donation.
